To fully appreciate the good news of Jesus Christ, we first need to appreciate the bad news: the fall, our sin, and the punishment we deserve because of it. Once we have studied our desperate condition, we will find more reason to worship Jesus Christ for the salvation he secured for us.
This class will follow chapters 6-8 of the Westminster Confession of Faith:
Ch. 6 Of the Fall of Man, of Sin, and of the Punishment Thereof,
Ch. 7 Of God’s Covenant with Man
Ch. 8 Of Christ the Mediator
Each doctrine will be demonstrated from scripture and then applied to life. The class will
familiarize students with the vocabulary and reasoning in this widely used doctrinal standard which will equip students for further theological study. The class will also give students time for discussion so that they may better apply the doctrines to themselves and be prepared to share their understanding with others.
